holiday quiz
i should totally be getting ready for work right now. but seeing as erin listed me as her "most likely to respond", who am i to disappoint? :)
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? wrapping paper. i'm one of those people who likes to buy themed gift wrap and make all the presents coordinate under the tree. this year i'm using up the last of my sage green/white wrapper papers, though i may need to go out & buy more ribbon to accent.
2. Real tree or Artificial? i've never had a real tree. this year i'm making my own. it's about 40% done. you'll see pictures when it's complete.
3. When do you put up the tree? i started building it last weekend. in general, i'm against Christmas trees before thanksgiving. but i took the liberty of starting early since it won't be COMPLETE until after thanksgiving & no one's going to see it yet anyway.
4. When do you take the tree down? we'll see. if it turns out as amazing as i picture it in my head, the ornaments may come down but the tree may stay up. think of it as more of an art piece than a decoration.
5. Do you like eggnog? i don't believe i've ever really had eggnog.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? my cabbage patch kids.
7. Hardest person to buy for? my father. but this has been cured by the "handmade Christmas pledge" which involves one gift for each couple i buy for, instead of for each individual.
8. Easiest person to buy for? alicia. aren't kids the best that way? they like everything.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? no, i do not. i think i have an advent candle wreathy thing though ... which isn't the same, but i think it's supposed to look like the little town of bethlehem ...
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? MAIL! e-mail is not an acceptable substitute for Christmas cards. i will appreciate your electronic wishes, yes. but i will feel warm & fuzzy over the ones that my mailman delivers.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? i can't say. the person who gave me said gift may very well read this, and it is the thought that counts. but it always (same type of gift multiple years) made me want to say "you do know i'm not a size 4, right?!"
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? A Christmas Story.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? i haven't really shopped for Christmas for several years, aside from buying the wrapping paper.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? i don't think so.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? cookies. :)
16. Lights on the tree? oh, yes. well, actually, i say that ... but i don't really see lights going on my tree this year. hmmm.
17. Favorite Christmas song? do you hear what i hear?
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? stay home, mostly. wherein "home" is anything within a 30 mile radius.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? yes. can you?
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? we've always had a star. but this, too, is something i don't see happening on my tree this year.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? you know, i'd usually say all the consumer-crazed commercials ... but without a tv, that's really not an issue for me. so, i'll say the crazy-busy stores filled with rude customers. if you're going to buy people gifts for Christmas, must you do it so rudely?
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? this year will mostly be black/white.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? noodles. :) we could skip the meat ... and the veggies ... and just have noodles all day long.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? a marathon of rousing card games with the family.
26. Who is most likely to respond to this? since erin already did it? probably no one.
27.Who is least likely to respond to this? probably everyone. someone surprise me! :)

Hey, I'm responding. I may not be answering all the questions, but I'm responding! I think that counts.
You've NEVER had egg nog? Seriously? You really should try it! It's not exactly healthy, but you should at least try it!
Or try my other favorite holiday drink, Bailey's on the rocks. Yum. Do you still have some of that in your fridge? ;)
i think a tree without lights has too many, sad, dark places in which ornaments (and who knows what else!!) lurk.
So i vote for lights.
For whatever reason, we got graduation gift wrap for my brother's college graduation. I was greatly amused giving people gifts for christmas or birthday with "Congratulations Class of 2002" on it. Now it's all gone though. I'll have to see what sort of inappropriate paper I can find at the store.
oh i totally love the inappropriate paper, dave! that is the greatest! you must find some and let me know what you used. last year callie made my wrapping paper- it was red with green christmas tress on it. i still have it. bruce made me some one year, also, with pictures of our first christmas tree on it. he si the king of interesting wrapping- i hate unwrapping it for fear that it ruins it :)
